Fiona Wade has claimed that she saw the mythical Scottish beast on August 31, suggesting that the sighting lasted for as long as 30 or 40 seconds.

Fiona told the Daily Star newspaper: "It initially looked like a periscope but then two curved areas followed.

"It was moving and about halfway out in the Loch looking roughly over to mid-way between Foyers and Whitebridge.

"I have seen deer crossing before but this was like nothing I have seen before. It was large enough to catch my eye and it appeared to leave a slight wake behind it."
